Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary Objective: of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of adjuvant PIPAC performed within 4-8 weeks after curative-intent surgery, and followed by adjuvant s-CT, in preventing the onset of PM in high risk colon cancer.;Secondary Objective: Secondary Objectives: are to assess feasibility, toxicity and impact on the quality of life (QoV) of the adjuvant PIPAC, performed in an early setting (within 4-8 weeks of primitive surgery), overall survival, disease-free survival (peritoneal and distant), and pattern of disease progression after the procedure;Primary end point(s): The efficacy of adjuvant PIPAC will be assessed by measuring peritoneal metastasis-free survival from the date of primary surgery to the date of MP diagnosis.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The adjuvant PIPAC performed in an early setting after primary surgery will be considered feasible if: •the laparoscopic procedure can be completed in 9 patients; •the postoperative stay will be three days or shorter in =6 patients; •the post-operative adjuvant s-CT will begin within 12 weeks of primary surgery in = 9 patients. The adjuvant PIPAC will be considered a well tolerated procedure if: •a maximum of one serious treatment-related complication will occur; •a maximum of one laparotomy conversion will occur; •a maximum of one hospital readmission will occur within 30 days. Overall survival will be measured from the date of primary cancer surgery to the date of death for any cause or, for patients still alive at the date of the last available follow-up (Kaplan-Meier). Disease-free survival will be measured from the date of primary cancer surgery to the date of MP diagnosis, systemic metastases or patient death. The pattern of disease recurrence after adjuvant PIPAC will be determined by recording the anatomical site and date of onset of both metacrone MP, as well as metacrone systemic metastasis (extraperitoneal), and deaths. QoV will be evaluated with EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-CR29 questionnaires;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 months
